The music in the club had become softer near their table.
The gang had completely taken over one corner.
Drinks on the table.
Phones thrown aside.
Laughter echoing between them.
Freya spun the bottle again.
The glass bottle rolled across the table slowly.
Everyone watched.
It stopped.
Pointing at Freya.
Rakki clapped dramatically.
"Oh ho… destiny."
Ella leaned forward with a wicked smile.
"Truth or dare?"
Freya crossed her arms confidently.
"Truth."
Grace laughed softly.
"Let's make it interesting."
Ella tilted her head.
"Who do you like right now?"
Freya froze.
Everyone leaned forward.
Rakki whispered dramatically,
"This is history."
Freya rolled her eyes but suddenly stood up.
Everyone looked confused.
She walked straight toward Percy, who was sitting a little away from the group.
Freya stood in front of him.
Hands on her hips.
"Fine."
"I like you."
The table went silent.
Percy blinked in shock.
"You what?"
Freya shrugged.
"I like you."
Rakki almost fell from her chair laughing.
Percy stared at Freya for a moment.
Then he slowly stood up.
"I thought you would never say it."
Freya's eyes widened.
"You knew?"
Percy nodded.
"I've liked you for months."
Freya's confidence disappeared instantly.
"Wait… seriously?"
Percy smiled.
"Yeah."
"And yes."
Freya blinked.
"Yes?"
Percy laughed.
"I accept."
The group exploded.
Rakki screamed,
"WE HAVE A COUPLE!"
Ella hugged Grace.
Jay clapped happily.
Freya hid her face in embarrassment while Percy laughed.
The bottle spun again.
It stopped.
Pointing at Grace.
Freya immediately grinned.
"Oh this will be good."
Grace sighed.
"Truth."
Ella asked softly,
"Tell us something none of us know."
Grace went quiet.
Her smile faded a little.
Then she spoke calmly.
"I was pregnant once."
The table froze.
No one moved.
Grace continued gently,
"But I had an abortion."
Silence filled the air.
Jay's eyes widened.
Rakki looked shocked.
Ella slowly reached for Grace's hand.
Grace squeezed it and smiled softly.
"I wasn't ready."
Freya wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
"You're strong."
Grace nodded quietly.
The bottle spun again.
It rolled and stopped in front of Rakki.
Rakki groaned loudly.
"Oh god."
Freya smirked.
"Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
Keifer leaned forward.
"Tell us something big."
Rakki scratched her head.
Then she sighed.
"I was about to leave college last year."
Everyone looked confused.
Jay blinked.
"What?"
Rakki continued,
"My family had financial problems."
"I thought of quitting."
Ella frowned.
"Then why didn't you?"
Rakki looked toward Keifer.
The group followed her gaze.
Rakki smiled slightly.
"Because of him."
Keifer raised an eyebrow.
"Me?"
Rakki laughed.
"He literally dragged me to the administration office."
"He forced me to apply for financial help."
Keifer shrugged awkwardly.
"It wasn't a big deal."
Rakki shook her head.
"It was for me."
Jay watched Keifer quietly.
A small smile appearing on her face.
Freya spun the bottle again.
This time it stopped.
Pointing at Jay.
Rakki clapped immediately.
"Finally!"
Ella leaned forward.
"Truth or dare?"
Jay took a breath.
"Dare."
Freya's eyes sparkled mischievously.
"Oh this is perfect."
She pointed dramatically.
"You have to kiss the person you love the most."
The group went silent instantly.
Jay froze.
Her heartbeat became loud in her ears.
Slowly…
Her eyes moved around the table.
Then they stopped.
On Keifer.
Everyone noticed.
Freya gasped.
Rakki whispered loudly,
"OH MY GOD."
Ella looked between them nervously.
Keifer stopped moving.
Completely still.
Jay slowly stood up.
Her heart racing.
She took a step forward.
Toward Keifer.
Everyone held their breath.
Rakki leaned forward on the table.
"THIS IS HAPPENING."
Jay walked closer.
Keifer didn't move.
Their eyes met.
For a moment…
It felt like the entire world had stopped.
Jay stood right in front of him.
Then suddenly—
She turned.
Walked two steps.
And leaned toward Ella.
Before anyone understood what was happening…
Jay kissed Ella softly on the cheek.
The entire table froze.
Then Rakki screamed with laughter.
"PLOT TWIST!"
Freya collapsed on the couch laughing.
"I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT!"
Ella looked shocked for two seconds.
Then she burst out laughing and hugged Jay.
Grace shook her head smiling.
Jay sat down again trying to act normal.
Across the table…
Keifer leaned back in his chair.
Watching her quietly.
A small unreadable smile on his face.
And the game continued.
